an EARTHQUAKE INCIDENT
WHAT A SHEPHERD SAW, FELT
AND HEARD
As He Stood Upon Mountain Peak
During the Approach OF the
Earthquake.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May T.
Cumbers Mesa, seventysfive miles
west of Albuquerque, on the'Atlan-
ticsand Pacific railway, is a rugged
upland occupied by countless aocks
of sheep which are cared sfor by
herders who follow their focks day
aud night, unseen by the owners for
weeks at stretch. On Tuesday
Culber Gonzales, a large sheep rails.
err, rode over the range to inspect his
flocks, reaching Mesa at $40 o'clock
pm, and climbed to the top Of n
high rock to scan the country in
search OF his herders, At that mo.
ment the sky became overcast, low
rumbling sound seemed to approach
from the southwest, and then a
slight tremble shook the rock upon
which he was perched, followed i'm
modiately by a loud report and severe
shocks which made the rock sway to
and fro like a ship at sea. He was
overcome by a deadly sickness which
almost caused him to fall from the
rock. Recovering, he started by the
path he had climbed, but found the
rock had been rent in twain, leaving
a assure ten feet wide, which ac
counted for the report he had heard.
He managed to regain the ground,
and remounting his horse, rode
rapidly in search of his herders.
He found some of the sheep scat
tered, and bleating with fright, but
no herders were in sight. A short
distance further on he was Mortified
by finding the body of one of the
men, stretched upon the ground,
dead. Instituting a search for the
other two he found them mile
away, both dead, but the bodies bore
no mark Of violence or injury of any
kind, aud they were scarcely cold,
the hexibility of their limbs indicat-
ing that death had overtakeu them
all within the rime that Mr.. Con
zales had been in Mesa. The only
plausible theory that could be formed
as to the cause OF their death, was
that the extreme fright caused by
the terrible cowulson of the ele-
ments, which he himself had wit
messed, had killed the three men at
the same moment. The expressions
of their features, which bore the i'm
press OF fright and terror, sustained
this theory, and it is believed that
these three men were, perhaps, the
only human victims OF the great
Southwestern earthquake.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-The session Of par

Neither Mr.. Morley's appeal in behalf Of
political prisoners, nor Mr.. Dillon's denun-
Citations, nor Mr.. Parnell's warning OF
probable vengeful reprisals moved Mr.. Bal
four, who expressed in measured tones, free
from all trace os emotion, the determine
ton of the government to make no distinc-
ton between political and other prisoners.
The ministerial apeeches leave no doubt
of the governments intention to resort to q
rigorous application of the crimes act and
merciless exercise Of its powers. Mr. Bal
four will stand by the police and will grant
no inquiry into the affair at Mitchelstown,
except such an official investigation as can
be guided by the Dublin executive.
The appropriation bill passed its third
reading, and the house adjourned till Fri
day, when parliament will be prorogued.

HaZen's ThunderbOlt.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept 9.-The repudia-
tion by Louis T, Hazen, of Whitefeld, of
the bill in the interest of the Boston e.
Maine railroad that he introduced early in
the session, and which is known as the
"Hazen bill, - has caused, as would be ex-
pected, great excitement in railroad circles
here .-4s. .4-7-
9 One of the reasons which induced Mr..
Hazen to abandon the bill was the fact that
the Concord railroad has given a bond of
$3.50, 900 to complete the WhItefield and
Jefferson railroad in case the Atherton bill
should pass. Friends of Mr.. Hazen claimed
that public sentiment in his town is strongly
against the bill which he introduced, and
that fact undoubtedly exerted some inhu-
ence over Mr.. Hazen in the course which he
has taken. His action will certainly inten-
sify the railroad situation and make it
more bitter and personal to the end, which
does not seem to be near at hand.

PITTsFIELD, Mass, Sept. 14.-Pittsfeld
has been startled by the news that Gardner
T. Barker of this town has been missing
from New York since Aug. 2.
He is a son of the late Charles T. Barker
of Barkersville, and up to May l, 1885, was
superintendent of Barker Bros. woolen
mills at Barkersville. At that time stock
company was formed, and Barker went to
New York where he has since dealt largely
in stocks, visiting home fortnightly. He
was shrewd buyer, and in one year made
$50, 900.
The depression of the present year affected
him and he lost heavily. His health was
not good and his reverses depressed and
discouraged him.
Up to this time all efforts to trace him
have been in vain, and the family fear he
made away with himself.
He is a son of Judge j. M. Barker, of the
superior court
